I have a wirless PCI card that is only partially supported in Ubuntu. During the installation and trial of drivers for that card, it has happened several times that sudo just stopped working, in the same manner as described here. This is highly frustrating. If I could "touch /etc/sudo_only_on_this_machine", or something similar that would tell sudo that I was only using it on one machine, I would be happy. In fact, this should be the default.
